021 Using Print Strategically (and much more): A Conversation with CMO Mark Messing

Legal Marketing Studio

Mark Messing, Duane Morris's CMO, kindly joined me on the Legal Marketing Studio's last episode of 2016. What was originally intended to be a conversation focused on the way Duane Morris uses print publications within (and throughout) its marketing ended up covering quite a bit more ground. Mark generously shared his thoughts on the relationships between marketing, business development and business process; forging strong client relationships; building engaging pitch teams (and the need for them to rehearse!); the balance between a given marketing tool's aesthetic value vs functional value; and where Mark sees the legal industry and legal marketing moving over the next few years. All in all, lots of really interesting insights in this fascinating podcast.
